We learned to dive as a family about 13 years ago in Roatan...loved WEST END (not West BAY) for it's layback, backpacker vibe and cost. After some 20 dives, we were down to $25/dive which on one hand is a great deal, but on the other hand...one has to ask what they pay their DMs who were all...

Very informative, thanks for sharing this. We're considering a week on both Bonaire and Curacao this trip at year end, rather than a full two weeks in Bonaire. Appreciated your report.

Thanks James. I think this is something we can handle then. j

Thank you. That is what we were hoping! Appreciate the reply. j

such healthy reefs in Raja Ampat.

Incredible dives in Raja Ampat

We're booked on a live-aboard next October 2018 for our first dives in Maldives. We dive about once a year and have around 300 dives logged. We're learned in northern Cozumel and Raja Ampat (both terrific dive spots) that we are not fans of current diving, although no problem with most drift...

We snorkelled with the Whale Sharks right in the main harbour in the city of La Paz, Baja. They were everywhere and there are regulations in place using local guides/boats and limiting numbers of people, etc. (in January). Ask at the B&B called Kootenay for recommendations of a good local...

We were extremely fortunate to be able to dive Raja Ampat last November with Amira live-aboard for 11 days (plus 9 nights land-based diving on Bunaken), and the diving was incredible especially south around Misool. It was my favourite dive location ever, and with fun travel companions, boat crew...

I'd appreciate hearing your trip report also as our family of three is planning a trip there in Aug if all goes well. Did you feel the coral bleaching was a serious issue there? Thanks for any details you may offer.

Wondering how your trip was? We're thinking of going here in Aug. Thanks for feedback,

Photos are great and thanks for sharing your trip. We're hoping to dive in Indonesia in the next couple of years so I'm interested to check out our options and what might be affordable and still FABULOUS underwater. Appreciate the details you've provided. j

TRIP REPORT: Dominica 2013 Our family (three adults) stayed at Titiwi.com Apt/Condo for 11 nights May 25-Jun 5, 2013 during our trip to Dominica (Dom-in-EEK-a). It's located in Citronier, south-west Dominica and just a few minutes outside the capital of, Roseau. This apartment/condo works...

My cheerleading (aka TRIP UPDATE): We just got back from Coz yesterday (Jan 2) after two weeks, and it far exceeded expectations. We are a family of three (son is 17) all with around 120 dives...first time in Mexico. We stayed at Villa Aldora (the hosts there are Kay and Greg and they do...

Thanks for the tips. We've ordered the maps and do plan to stay 3-4 nights at PDC. I'm checking into DOps and doing at least one day of cenotes and ruins. Woke up to snowflakes up here in Calgary so Mexico is looking really good!!

We'll likely do one ruin day on the mainland...we've enjoyed same in Tikal, Guatemala and Machu Picchu, Peru among others and know it is very worthwhile even if one does have to give up some bottomtime. I'm researching places to stay near the ferry in PDC for the three nights for easy...

Will check these locations further, thanks DandyDan. It looks like everything is pretty busy during holiday season so we wanted to pre-book to be sure to get the dive op we want. We are now going to stay on the mainland three nights so will for sure check out the car rental/cenotes/ruins etc...

Thanks for both postings, ColoDale. The details you provided were helpful to visualize where we would be staying and the walk or taxi to town for meals etc. We've decided to go with Villa Aldora and Aldora Divers so I'll update in the new year with a brief update on our experiences. I'm...

Cave diving in AZ? You might call Chase at Twin Finn (Twin Finn Diving and Kayak Rentals at Lake Powell). We rented kayaks from them for a number of years to camp/paddle deep in the canyons of Lake Powell and we learned a bit about the diving they do there. At that time we were not scuba diving...

We had great late-Dec diving in both Roatan and Utilla. And if you have money to spend, MAUI was great diving.
